Ardvreck Castle on Loch Assynt

Legend says that the MacLeods procured the help of Clootie (the Scottish name for the Devil) to build Ardvreck Castle. In return Eimhir, the daughter of the MacLeod chieftain, was betrothed to Clootie as payment. In despair, the girl threw herself from one of the castle towers.

After that, locals whispered tales of MacLeod’s lost daughter Eimhir and her continued presence at Loch Assynt.
